You think scaling plant based food is harder than scaling a meat industry? I’m a meat eater but come on… It is not hard to get to place mentally that humans could easily live on plant based foods. People choose to eat meat because it’s what they believe to be is delicious and what their parents raised them on.
Maybe DOGE should cut all the subsidies the meat industry gets, upwards of $40 billion and we can see what the real price of meat should cost.
Lol they aren't trying to actually reduce expenses. If they did there's clear places to go (we don't seem to want to use our military, why do we spend 1/3 of our national budget on it?).
The goal is to inject confusion and uncertainty into everyone's lives and to pwn the libs who think government is capable of doing good.
That's not at all what I said. The meat Industry already exists and is scaled profitable, even if it's terrible for our planet.
I said to get any scale of another version, it's going to have to be as equally profitable or corporations are not going to go for it.
Sustainable, scalable and profitable.
Ah sorry for the misunderstanding. Profits over everything sigh :(
The unfortunate world we live in
